Movie - Last Looks (2022) [/] Sort of a modern day noir-ish film. Disgraced former Los Angeles PD detective Charlie Waldo (Charlie Hunnam) returns to Hollywood to solve the murder of the wife of tv personality Alastair Pinch (Mel Gibson) and either absolve or incriminate him. Meanwhile there are a couple of other parties that don't want him investigating even though unrelated to the murder. With Lucy Fry as the possible Femme Fatale and Morena Baccarin in a cameo as Waldo's ex-flame... It's got a good setup and quirky characters but doesn't quite deliver.
Food - Trader Joe's Shakshuka Starter [/] A small stew of tomatoes and peppers. You can microwave it from frozen in less than 10 minutes including adding a couple of eggs for the last couple of minutes. Tastes ok and it's like $2.
Apple Arcade - Pac-Man Party Royale (2019) [-] Pac-Man like games. Adventure: mini-games with different game rules (e.g. you're a ghost, herd pac-man into the flag). Battle Arena: play vs 3 others in an arena eating dots and picking up weapons to kill the other pac-men. You can also play Battle Arena with friends. Taking a classic game and making it un-fun.
